  • Toponyms and Place Heritage As Sources of Place Brand Value
    Paula Sjöblom–Ulla Hakala Toponyms and place heritage as sources of place brand value 1. Introduction Commercial producers have long seen the advantage of branding their products, and the idea of discovering or creating uniqueness also attracts the leaders and governments of countries, states and cities (aShWorth 2009). However, traditional product marketing framework has proved to be inadequate for places; therefore, place branding has rather leaned on corporate branding. Place branding is a long-term, strategic process that requires continuity, and these actions take time to be recognised (KavaratZIS 2009). As generally recognised not only in onomastics but also in marketing, a name can be seen as the core of a brand. Therefore, a place name is the core of a place brand. Having a name is having an identity. A brand name has functions that can be regarded as sources of brand equity, and name changes have proved to cause discomfort and distress amongst consumers (e.g. RounD–RoPER 2012, BRoWn 2016). The name of a place – having stayed unchanged – has traditionally represented permanence and stability and could be regarded as the place’s memory (BASSO 1996, hEllElanD 2009). Referring to lauRa koSTanSki (2016) and her theory of toponymic attachment, place names carry strong emotional and functional attachments. This theory is very important also regarding place branding. According to GRAHAM et al. (2000), heritage can be defined as the past and future in the present. Accordingly, place heritage is heritage which is bound up with physical space that is a place. As for the concept of place, it is a named space (lÉVi-STRauSS 1962).

The park is a significant investment in the future for the city of Rauma. After five years running, the area houses around 30 companies col- laborating with each other. Their location in the indus- trial park gives them a competitive edge and promotes networking. Between the years 2014 and 2016 the Business Ser- vices of the City of Rauma ran the Rauma subproject of Turku Seas 2020 project which was part of the Meri programme by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment. The aim of the project was to develop the operative environment of the companies belonging to the maritime cluster in Rauma, promote networking among these companies and support their marketing efforts. The first catalogue of maritime cluster companies in Rauma was compiled as part of the Turku Seas 2020 subproject. The current, updated version has been put together by Rauma City Development. The need for this catalogue was generated by the changes in the marine industry’s operational environment that call for effective marketing and constant presentation of expertise and client references by the companies.

  • Turku-Uusikaupunki Joukkoliikenteen Työmatkapilotti Kysymyksiä Ja Vastauksia
    Turku-Uusikaupunki joukkoliikenteen työmatkapilotti Kysymyksiä ja vastauksia Mikä Turku-Uusikaupunki joukkoliikenteen työmatkapilotti on? Varsinais-Suomen ELY-keskus, Valmet Automotive ja Turun kaupunki järjestävät yhteistyössä uusia joukkoliikennevuoroja Turusta Uuteenkaupunkiin. Liikenne on kaikille avointa, mutta vuorot on ajoitettu autotehtaan työaikoihin sopiviksi ja reitti kulkee Uudenkaupungin linja-autoasemalle tehtaan portin kautta. Tarkoituksena on tarjota vaihtoehto oman auton käytölle työmatkoilla. Nopean yhteyden takaamiseksi vuorot pysähtyvät vain muutamilla pysäkeillä. Työmatkapilotin tarkoituksena on selvittää kyseisen reitin matkustajapotentiaalia. Lisäksi kokeillaan mobiilisovelluksen ominaisuuksia ja käyttökelpoisuutta. Mikäli matkustajamäärät muodostuvat kokeilun aikana riittäviksi, tavoitteena on että liikenne järjestyy jatkossa markkinaehtoisesti ilman viranomais- tai yritystukea. Miksi kokeiluhanke toteutetaan? Pilottihankkeella pyritään osaltaan vastaamaan Varsinais-Suomen positiivisen rakennemuutoksen tarpeisiin. Valmet Automotive rekrytoi kevään 2017 aikana Uudenkaupungin autotehtaalle yli 1 000 uutta työntekijää. Arvion mukaan merkittävä osa uusista työntekijöistä tulee pendelöimään Turun seudulta. Sekä autotehtaan että alueen viranomaisten intressinä on tukea työvoiman liikkuvuutta ja löytää työntekijät avoimiin työpaikkoihin. Työntekijöille halutaan tarjota vaihtoehtoja työmatkan kulkemiseen. Toimivalla joukkoliikenneyhteydellä madalletaan kynnystä hakeutua autotehtaalle töihin ja mahdollistetaan se myös henkilöille,

Without the advice and encouragement of certain persons this work would not have been possible, or at least it would have looked very different. To these persons I direct my deep gratitude. First of all I want to thank my supervisors, professors Gunilla Widén-Wulff and Mike Thelwall, for their advice and support throughout this process. I have been very fortunate to have two such knowledgeable and generous supervisors. Gunilla has given me the freedom to pursue my own path and make my own discoveries, but she has always been there to help me find my way back to the path when I have strayed too far from it. It has been a great privilege to have Mike as my second supervisor. Mike’s vast knowledge and experience of webometrics, great technical skills, and unparalleled helpfulness have been extremely valuable throughout this research. I also want to thank professors Mariam Ginman and Sara von Ungern-Sternberg for convincing me to pursue a doctoral degree, a decision that I have never regretted.
